Slow Ocean Warming Trims Global Fish Stocks, Study Finds
TL;DR Summary
A Nature Ecology & Evolution study finds chronic ocean warming steadily reduces marine biomass, with fish declines of about 7.2% per 0.1°C per decade and up to nearly 20% in a single year; while marine heatwaves trigger temporary population booms that mask long-term losses, signaling governance and fisheries risks as warming continues.
